Case 80 Diagnosis

Macular choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia

Differential Diagnosis

• Age-related macular degeneration: more likely in an older patient with associated ocular findings consistent with the disease
• Presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome: would expect to see lesions in other areas of the eye
• Traumatic choroidal rupture: no history of trauma
• Post retinal laser photocoagulation: no such history in this patient
• Angioid streaks: no angioid streaks in this patient
